Here's an interesting history of Rail welding:

Look for "Welding" on page #40 of 49 in this Seward .pdf :

This is "The Electric Railway Journal. Published on November 1st, 1919. Note: Look for page 14 (20 of 702) and you'll find an article regarding one of the pamphlets which have a different number than what you posted:

Well, that's about all I was able to find. If I find something else that more closely fits your query, I'll post it for you.
